All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

The explanations were easy to understand, and I enjoyed the viewing experience. It was my first time seeing stars through binoculars, and I was amazed to see so many stars that I couldn't see with the naked eye. It was a windy and chilly day, but thanks to the blankets provided during the viewing, I didn't feel cold. The bus ride was chilly because it was an open bus, so I think it's a good idea for those going during cold seasons to bring a jacket.

説明がわかりやすく、楽しく鑑賞できました。
初めて双眼鏡で星を見たのですが、肉眼では見られないたくさんの星を見られて感動しました。
風が強く肌寒い日でしたが、鑑賞中は用意していただいていたブランケットのおかげで寒い思いをせずすみました。
バスでの移動中はオープンバスのため寒かったので、寒い時期に行かれる方は上着があるといいと思います。

I still remember the starry sky I saw in Ishigaki Island a long time ago, so for this trip, I wanted my husband to see the stars as well, and I booked a tour. We were fortunate with the weather. The tour included binoculars, and the explanations were very clear and enjoyable. It was also a delightful surprise for me when a cat came by (^ ^).

昔見た石垣島の星空が思い出に残っているので、
今回の旅行では、主人にも星空を見て欲しいと思い、ツアーを予約しました。
お天気に恵まれて良かったです。双眼鏡もついており、解説がとてもわかりやすく楽しめました。
猫ちゃんがやってきたことが私にとっては嬉しいサプライズでもありました(^ ^)

Nothing was interesting. If I can only see things like coconut crabs in the summer, I would have liked to be informed in advance. Although it says in the photos and experiences that they can be seen, if they can only be seen in the summer, I want to be told. It felt like a waste of money.

何も面白くなかった。ヤシガニ等、夏しか見れないなら事前に教えてほしい。写真や体験談的には見れたとあるが、夏じゃないと見れないなら教えて欲しい。お金がもったいない感じだった。

I had a reservation on November 9th. I made the reservation and payment, and waited at the meeting point on the day, but no one came to pick me up. I tried calling the contact number multiple times, but couldn't get through, and I searched the surrounding area repeatedly. Eventually, when I searched for "Hoshizora Farm" on Google Maps, a completely different location came up, so I decided to head there on a whim, and found that the stargazing tour was taking place. Naturally, I explained the situation to the staff, but I did not receive a satisfactory answer as to why the wrong meeting point was communicated, and why there was no confirmation call even though there were no participants.

I believe that having a mobile number listed as a contact that cannot be reached on the day is pointless. I was told it was the owner's mobile, but they said they didn't know where the owner was today.

I am saddened that my enjoyable travel time was wasted. I hope the company will review its system to prevent others from having a similar experience and provide better tours in the future.

11/9に予約していたものです。予約＆支払いをして当日は集合場所で待っていましたが、迎えがくることはありませんでした。連絡先に何度電話しても繋がらず、周辺を何度も探し回りました。結局Googleマップで「星空ファーム」と検索するとまったく別の場所が出てきたので、一か八かその場所に向かってみたところ、星空ツアーが開催されていました。当然スタッフさんに状況を伝えましたが、なぜ間違った集合場所が伝えられていたのか、なぜ参加者がいないのに確認の電話すらしてこないのか、納得できる回答はいただけませんでした。
連絡先と載せてあった携帯も当日連絡が取れる携帯でなければ意味がないと思います。オーナーさんの携帯とのことでしたが、今日はオーナーがどこにいるか分かりません、と言われました。
せっかくの楽しい旅行の時間を無駄にすることになり悲しいです。同じような思いをする方が出ないよう会社の体制を見直していただき、より良いツアーを開催していただけることを期待しています。

There were many clouds and the moonlight was strong, so I couldn't see as many stars as I had hoped, but the discussion about the stars while pointing them out with a laser pointer was fascinating. The moonlight bath was also nice since I don't usually take the time to look at the moon. It would have been great if we could have considered the moon phase as well...

雲が多く月明かりが強かったので思ったより星が見れなかったがレーザーポインターで示しながらの星の話も興味深かったです。
月光浴も普段ゆっくり月を見ることもないので良かったです。
月齢も考慮できれば良かったのですが・・・

This is actually my second time.
The first time was during a full moon. But I was able to see shooting stars!
This time, it was cloudy.
Although the weather wasn't favorable, the staff were very attentive, and the live performance with the sanshin was moving every time. The atmosphere was great. I would love to participate again without hesitation! Thank you!

実は今回2度目です。
1回目は満月。でも流れ星を見ることが出来ました！
2回目の今回は曇り。
天候には恵まれませんでしたが担当の方が丁寧で、三線の弾き語りは毎回感動です。雰囲気があって良かったです。また懲りずに参加したいと思いました！ありがとうございました！

I participated during my honeymoon trip! The weather was great, so we could see many stars! The explanations were very clear, and they provided chairs and binoculars. The staff was also very kind! I definitely want to go again in a different season!

新婚旅行で行った際に参加しました！お天気も良かったのでたくさん星が見えました！
とても分かりやすく説明してくださいますし、チェアーや双眼鏡も用意してくださってます。スタッフの皆様もとても親切でした！また違う季節にもぜひ行きたいです！

Although the sky was cloudy and the wind was strong, preventing us from seeing a full starry sky, the guide was cheerful and spoke well, making it enjoyable to watch the stars.

雲が多く風が強かった為満面の星空はだめだったがガイドが明るく話が上手かったので楽しく星を見れました。

Nice tour, great weather with stars all over the sky.

Nice tour, great weather with star all over the sky

I was able to see a coconut crab up close for the first time. The weather was nice, and I was able to see many stars as well. The staff were friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour.

ヤシガニを初めて近くで見ることができました。天気もよく、たくさんの星も観ることができました。スタッフの方も親切で楽しいツアーでした。

I was grateful that they came to pick me up at the hotel. After driving for a while from the city, we took a dark road with no people. Once we passed through a narrow jungle path, we arrived at the local exploration site! We searched for wildlife along the rocky coastline. Unlike during the day, the tranquility and the sound of the waves were pleasant. Then, we discovered a coconut crab! Its purple shell was mysterious! After exploring the coast, we moved to a spot for stargazing. Although the moonlight was a bit bright, the sky was filled with stars welcoming us. Fortunately, we even saw a shooting star. I was able to spend a happy time.

ホテルまで迎えに来ていただけるので助かりました 市街地からしばらく走ると、人気のない真っ暗な道を行きます。ジャングルの細道を抜けると、現地探索場所に到着‼️ 海沿いの岩場で野生の生物を捜索。昼間とは違い、静寂の中、波音が心地よかった すると、ヤシガニを発見‼️ 紫色に光った殻が神秘的❗️海岸探索を後にして、星空探索の場所に移動。月明かりが少し明るかったけど、満天の星が出迎えてくれました。そこへ幸運にも、流れ星が。幸せな時間を過ごすことができました

I thoroughly enjoyed the night in Ishigaki Island. We set off at 8 PM and ran through the darkness, which felt mysterious. The atmosphere along the coastline at night was different from during the day, and we encountered a coconut crab and a hermit crab that can only be seen at night. After that, we went to an observatory with a great view, where the moonlight was a bit bright, but the starry sky was magnificent. My husband and daughter were thrilled to see shooting stars. Listening to the sound of owls, the night view was beautiful as well.

石垣島の夜を満喫しました
夜８時に出発し、真っ暗な中を走りミステリー
夜の海岸には昼間と違う雰囲気で、夜しか見られないやしがに、ヤドカリと出逢えました
その後見晴らしの良い天文台に行くとちょっと月明かりが明るめながら満天の星空
主人と娘は流れ星も見れ大感激
フクロウの鳴き声をききながら、夜景も綺麗でした

They provide transportation to the hotel! The guides kept the atmosphere lively in the car and gave various explanations during the tour, making it a lot of fun. I was able to see rare island hermit crabs, which was a wonderful experience!

ホテルまで送迎をしてくれます！車内でもガイドの方々が盛り上げてくださったり、ツアー中も様々な説明をしてくださるので、とても楽しかったです。レアな島のヤドカリを見ることができ、とても良い経験ななりました！

Unfortunately, the weather was rainy on the first day, so we started with the expectation of not seeing the stars. The guide also mentioned that it might not be good because of the clouds, but when we arrived at the stargazing point, we were able to see a magnificent starry sky spread out before us. I thought to myself, "This is what a perfect starry sky looks like." We were also able to see several shooting stars, which was moving. Additionally, we spotted owls, bats, coconut crabs, and hermit crabs, making the tour very enjoyable. Thank you very much.

あいにく1日雨が降ったりやんだりの天気だったので、星は諦めてのスタートでした。ガイドさんも雲が出てるからダメかなぁと言っていましたが、星空ポイントまで来るとなんと見事な星空が空一面に見る事が出来ました。満点の星空ってこーゆう事を言うんだなって思ったほどです。流れ星も何個も見る事ができ感動しました。他にフクロウやコウモリ、ヤシガニ、ヤドカリも見る事が出来とても楽しくツアーに参加することが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

We participated as a family. It was a bit cloudy, so some stars were not visible, but we could see the summer night sky very well! Since it was also for my children's independent study, I appreciated being taught how to find constellations. I rated it a 4 because I thought the price could be a bit lower.

家族で参加しました。少し曇っていたので、見えない星もありましたが、夏の星空が本当によく見えました！子供の自由研究も兼ねていたので、星座の見つけ方も教えて頂けて、助かりました。もう少しお値段が安いといいかなと思い評価4としました。

Exploring the subtropical region at night was exciting. The plants and creatures I saw were unlike anything I had ever encountered, and the starry sky was so vast that it was almost overwhelming. It was all a first-time experience for me. I also appreciated the daytime activities, and the guide's stories were fascinating, especially about life on Ishigaki Island. All the guides were very kind, thank you. Additionally, I heard that a new location will be opening in Miyako Island, so I would definitely like to visit that as well.

夜の亜熱帯地方を探検するというだけでもワクワクしました。見たこともない植物や生物、何が何だかわからないぐらい辺り一面の星空。
どれもが初体験でした。日中もお世話になりましたが、ガイドさんのお話も面白く、石垣島での生活のお話は大変興味深いものでした。どのガイドも親切にしてくださり、ありがとうございます。また、宮古島にオープンされるどのことなので、是非よろしくお願いしたいです

When it comes to Iriomote Island, it's all about the jungle. I joined the tour hoping to encounter the Iriomote wildcat. And guess what? I actually saw one! They say you might only see it once in a hundred times, but I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse! It was just for a moment, but its stocky body shape is clearly different from an ordinary cat.

Dr. Koiwa, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, like a living encyclopedia.

西表島といえばジャングル。あわよくばイリオモテヤマネコと遭遇できればとの思いで、参加しました。
なんと見れました！100回に1回見れるかどうかとのことでしたが、見ることができました！一瞬でしたが、ずんぐりした体型は普通のネコとは明らかに異なります。
ガイドしてくれた古岩博士。生き字引のような知識量に圧倒されました。

I didn't do enough research beforehand, but the day before the full moon was indeed beautiful, although there weren't many stars visible. The group bus was late, and even though we started late, it was disappointing that the ending time was strictly adhered to.

事前のリサーチ不足ですが、満月の前の日で、次は確かにキレイでしたが、星はあまり見えませんでした。
団体さんのバスが遅れて、遅れて始まったのに、終わる時間はきっちりしていて残念でした。

This is a tour that both adults and children can enjoy! In the first half, we explored the night jungle, walking around in the dark, discovering bats, and even touching a large coconut crab—an experience you can't have in Tokyo! In the second half, we enjoyed stargazing, learning the names of stars and watching shooting stars, which left both adults and children very satisfied! The guide was knowledgeable about insects and spoke well, so my son said, "I want to see the big brother again!" I plan to request this tour again for our trip to Ishigaki Island next year! Thank you!

大人も子供も楽しめるツアーです！
前半はナイトジャングル散策で暗闇の中を歩き回りコウモリ発見したり、大きなヤシガニを触ってみたり、東京では出来ない経験を満喫！後半は星空観賞で星の名前を教えてもらったり、流れ星をみたりと大人も子供も大満足でした！ガイドしてくださった方が虫に詳しくお話が上手なので息子も「またお兄ちゃんに会いたい！」と言っています！
来年の石垣島旅行でもツアーお願いしようと思います！ありがとうございました

The Milky Way, Jupiter, and Saturn were incredibly visible, and there were many beautiful shooting stars! They also explained the stars, so the children listened and watched with great interest. However, the start time was late, and my 8-year-old couldn't wait for their turn to see through the telescope and fell asleep before seeing Saturn's rings. It would have been great if they could have shown the smaller children first. Also, I wish they had provided binoculars for everyone. Since the area was really dark, it was difficult to park the car, and it was also hard to get out when leaving, so I think it would be dangerous without someone to guide us.

びっくりするほど天の川や木星、土星が良く見えて流れ星もいっぱいできれいでした！
星の説明もしてくれたので、子供たちも興味深く聞いて見ていました。
ただ、開始時間が遅いので8歳の子供は天体望遠鏡を見せてもらう順番まで待てず、土星の輪をみる前に寝てしまいましたできれば小さい子供から見せてもらえればありがたかったです。あと双眼鏡も人数分、貸していただきたかったなぁ。
本当にあたりが真っ暗なため、車が停めにくく、また帰りも出しにくかったので、誘導してくれる人がいないと危険だと思いました。

On the last night, I joined Pip's night tour after the day tour I had with him! The kids were super excited about the creatures and plants we encountered, and the guide was entertaining, which made it very satisfying! There were also several staff members who spoke English, so the people from Belgium who came with us seemed to be having a great time too! I definitely want to participate in another tour.

最終日の夜、1日ツアーでお世話になったピピさんのナイトツアーに参戦！出てくる生き物や植物に子供達も大興奮でガイドさんも面白くて大満足でした！
英語が話せるスタッフさんも何名かいたので、一緒に来たベルギーの方々も楽しそうにしてました！
また違うツアーに参加したいと思いました。

At first, I was worried about whether it would be okay in the dark, but once the night tour started, I heard the rustling of animals, and it turned out to be a gecko. The sound of the gecko is definitely worth hearing at least once. It became a wonderful tropical night filled with darkness. Thank you, Kobayashi-san.

最初は暗いなか大丈夫かなぁって心配しましたがナイトツアー がはじまってみると、
動物のガサガサと音が鳴り出てきたのは、ヤモリでした。ヤモリの鳴き声は一度聞く価値あります。素晴らしい熱帯夜の暗闇になりました。小林さんありがとうございます。

I had traveled to Ishigaki before, but unfortunately, it was cloudy that time, and I couldn't see the stars at all. So, this time, I participated to make up for that. On the day of the tour, the clouds cleared beautifully, and I was able to experience an extraordinary starry sky that made me realize, "So this is what the night sky looks like in a southern island!" I also understood that the visibility of stars differs greatly between the town center and the outskirts of Ishigaki. If you come to Ishigaki and the weather looks good at night, I definitely recommend going to see the stars!

以前にも石垣へ旅行にきたことがあったのですが、その時はあいにくの曇りで星空がまったく見られなかったので、今回はそのリベンジも兼ねて参加しました。
ツアー当日は雲がきれいに晴れ、これが南の島の星空か！と実感できる格別の星空を見ることができました。
また、石垣でも町中と町外れで全然星の見え方が違ってくるということもよく分かりました。
もし、石垣に来て夜の天気が良さそうだったら、星空を見に行くことをぜひオススメします！

Later, I learned that for lunch, we were taken care of by a sister store on Iriomote Island, and for dinner, we were at the Ishigaki Island location.

I was hesitant to participate due to the unfortunate cloudy weather, but since it was said that there were other attractions besides the starry sky, I thought I might as well join since I had some free time.

The staff member in charge was reassuring, saying, "I can't guarantee we'll see the stars, but if it looks promising, we'll move to the best spot right away and adapt!" Near the end of the tour, there was a moment when the clouds parted, and I was able to enjoy the Milky Way!

The starry sky was, of course, wonderful, but what impressed me the most was the dedication of the staff!

後から知ったのですが、お昼は西表島の姉妹店にお世話になり、夜は石垣島店でお世話になりました。
生憎の曇り空で参加するか迷ったのですが、星空以外も見所があるとの触れ込みだったので、どうせ暇になるぐらいならと参加してみました。
担当していただいたスタッフさんは「星空が観れるか分かりませんが、見れそうならすぐにポイントへ移動して臨機応変にやります！」と心強く、ツアー終了間近で雲が切れる瞬間があり、天の川を堪能できました！
星空ももちろん素晴らしかったですが、一番は一生懸命なスタッフさんに感動しました！

Driving through the countryside without streetlights from the bustling city, we explored the habitats of various creatures. On the coast, we spotted coconut crabs, and in Banna Park, birds like bats and owls were resting. The sounds of hermit crabs moving and retreating into their shells were enchanting. Watching the bats leap from tree to tree and listening to the hoots of the owls touched my heart. Looking up at the starry sky, I saw shooting stars and truly felt that I was glad to be here! Our guide worked hard to ensure we enjoyed our limited time to the fullest.

繁華街からクルマで街頭のない田舎道を走り抜けて、生き物たちの生息地をめぐります。
海岸にはヤシガニ、バンナ公園にはコウモリやフクロウなどの鳥たちが佇んでいます。
ヤドカリの移動する音、殻に閉じこもる音。
コウモリが木に飛び移る姿や、フクロウの鳴き声に耳を傾けると心に沁み入ってきます
星空を見上げると流れ星が流れ、心から来てよかったと思いました！
限られた滞在期間でできるだけ楽しんでもらうためにガイドさんが一所懸命案内してくれました。

I was looking forward to it, but since it was the day before the full moon, the moonlight was too strong and I couldn't see the stars well; it was no different from the starry sky at home. Also, I heard that a typhoon occurred, so in the second half, it was completely covered by clouds and I couldn't enjoy the stars at all.

期待してたのですが満月の前日だった為、月の光が強すぎて星が見えずらく、自宅の星空と変わりませんでした。
また台風が発生したとの事で、後半は雲に覆われて全く星を楽しむ事が出来ませんでした。

I participated in the tour with just a desire to see beautiful stars, even though I found studying constellations difficult and lacked motivation in school. However, this time I was carefully taught how to find constellations and learned interesting stories about them, which sparked my interest in wanting to know more about stars!

The moon was very beautiful, which made it a bit harder to see the stars, but I can confidently say that I’m glad I participated! I would like to join again in a different season to see other stars. I think it would be great to have insect repellent spray to focus on the stars.

学校の授業では難しくてやる気になれなかった星座の勉強。きれいな星がみたいなーぐらいの気持ちでツアーに参加しましたが、今回星座の探し方やエピソードなどを丁寧に教えてもらい、星についてもっと知りたいと思えるきっかけになりました!!
月がとてもきれいでその分少し星が見えにくかったのですが、それでも自信をもって参加してよかったと言えます!
また違う星を見るために季節を変えて参加したいと思います(^^)
星に集中するために虫除けスプレーはあると◎かと思います。

It was unfortunate that we couldn't see the stars due to the cloudy sky, but our guide took us to various places to make up for it, and we had a great time. We were able to see coconut crabs, large hermit crabs, and even a rare owl, which made the children very happy. Thank you!

あいにくの曇り空で星が見えなかったのが残念でしたが、ガイドさんがそれを補うべくいろいろな場所に案内してくれて楽しかったです。
ヤシガニや大きなヤドカリ、珍しいコノハズクも見られて子供たちは大喜びしていました。ありがとうございました！

In the untamed jungle, you can hear the sounds of bats and owls, and there are places where you can gaze at the star-filled sky. It's recommended to observe the stars in a cool tropical environment while listening to the calls of wild birds.

Even near the coast, bats are flying around, and there was a cave close to the sandy beach that was home to coconut crabs. The stars are so beautiful that the area has been designated as a starry sky protection zone, and you can usually see famous constellations like the Milky Way depending on the season.

I've heard that fireflies can be seen from March to May, so if I get the chance, I would like to participate in that as well.

整備されていないジャングルの森にはコウモリやフクロウの鳴き声が聞こえ、満天の星を眺められる場所もあり、野鳥の声を聞きながら南国の涼しい環境で星を観察できオススメです。
海岸近くでもコウモリは飛んでて、砂浜すぐ近くの洞窟にはヤシガニのお家がありました。
星は星空保護区に指定されるほどきれいで、天の川など時期によって有名な星座はたいてい見れまました。
3月から5月までホタルが見れるとのことなので機会があればそちらの方も参加してみたいなと思います。

I participated in a night jungle tour because I wanted to see nocturnal creatures. I was able to enjoy a variety of animals, including small frogs, large frogs, owls, bats, and coconut crabs! The starry sky was also beautifully visible, and I was very satisfied. Thank you!

夜の生き物を見たかったので夜のジャングルツアーに参加させていただきました。
小さなカエルに大きなカエル、フクロウやコウモリ、ヤシガニなど他にも色々な生き物が見れ存分に楽しませて頂きました！
星空も綺麗に見れ大満足でした。
ありがとうございました！
